13.2 Adding Users
You can allow multiple users to log in to the system. When adding different users, you can assign what menus they have access
to. For example, you may want your friend to monitor your system while you are away, while not giving full access to your
system.
To add a user account:
-
From Live View, right-click and then select Main Menu.
-
If prompted, enter the system user name and password.
-
Click
and select Setting. Select Account.
-
Click Add User.
-
Configure the following:
-
Username: Enter a name for the user account.
-
Password: Enter a 6 character password for the user account. Enter the password again under Confirm Password.
-
Memo (optional): Enter a description of the user account.
-
Group: Select the group you would like to assign to this user account. A user account cannot be given permissions its group does
not have.
-
Under the System tab, select the menus the user account may access. Under the Playback tab, select which channels the user account may access recorded video from. Under the Covert tab, select the channels the user account may view live video from.
-
Click OK to save changes.
Now, you can log in to the system locally, or remotely using the user name and password you created. When logging into the
system with a user account, the user will only have access to the menus you assigned.
13.5 Account Groups
Account groups can be used to easily manage permissions for multiple user accounts. User accounts can be given all the permissions
of a group, but cannot be given permissions that the group does not have.
